Tried twice! Blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot and 1% Merlot, deep Ruby with aromas of red and black fruits with sweet spices. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry and black cherry, subtle spices, vanilla, cacao and oak. Good balance, generous acidity, rich grippy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, Cedar and spice. Will develop well for a decade.

impressive bouquet for this “level”’of Cab ~ dark flowers & berries, potpourri, licorice & leather ~ basically similar on palate…maybe some raspberry bottle caps!!!

6/2022. Nice cab. Flavor, body and finish. Paired well with the Grouper special at Perones Restaurant.

Beautiful wine, as always. Luscious plums, boysenberries, and blackberries. Mulled spices. Licorice. Sage. Cedar shavings. Pencil lead/graphite. Luxardo cherry syrup. Classic Rutherford dust.

I can’t even rightly place what it is but I just love Inglenook. Perhaps it’s just the downright classic and iconic nature of the wine that keeps me coming back; the mint, the dust, and the sweet, ripe dark fruits. Beautiful nose, lovely palate.

Described as jammy & fruit forward, we didn’t find that to be the case. More, light, slight acidity on the front end with no real pizazz. This one missed the mark for us. At least the sights are amazing...that would be sights of my beautiful queen. I’m blessed.

What a great example of a Rutherford cab complete with dusty, puckering tannin. 9.2 pop n pour. Excited to see where I end up in three hours.

Very flavorful, but balanced and not overpowering. Bright, with a hint of oak.
